Quien Soy Yo?

Look at me, do you know where I’m from?

Do you hear the accent in my voice or are you still in denial?

Que es lo que tengo que hacer para probarte a ti que no soy tu tipico negro en los Estados Unidos?

Yo soy Garifuna, Yo soy Catracho, Yo soy Afro-Latino.

Shocking right?

“Un Garífuna Hondureño en Notre Dame”, “Yo pensaba que ellos eran buenos para nada”

Well numada, like I said before, no soy tu tipico negro en los Estados Unidos.

I am talented, I am exquisite, I am greatness.

That’s who I am, despite all the stereotypes, despite all the hardships.

I’m here.

Rompiendo cadenas como mi mama siempre dice.

I know who I am, and to me, that’s enough.

So next time you come questioning me about who I am, all I’m going to say is…

Katabu san?

From Garifuna to English:

“Numada” = “Friend”

“Katabu san?” = “who are you?”
